RIRIE? IS IT WORTH THE CHANCE?

[wiperhunter2]

Made it out Thursday evening for a few hours.  Started off down by Blacktail hoping to get into some perch or bass... caught a few stocker rainbows.  Moved up by power lines and closer to the dam to try trolling for kokanee... caught a few stocker rainbows.  Water level is way up but did not see too much floating debris.  Much clearer water on the Juniper side as well.  Not feeling too warm and fuzzy about the fishing at Ririe this year.

Thanks for the report and info about water conditions there, too bad the koke catching is so poor there this year hopefully things improve but it isn't sounding good. Were there a lots of people there?

There were less than a dozen boats or so out there.  A few were wake boarding, etc. and the rest were fishing.  Chatted with another boat as we trolled past each other and they had caught a few trout as well.  No kokes or anything else... We marked fish all over the place, just could not get anything but the stocker rainbows to commit.

That's a bummer and no luck on the bass or perch?
